Just started snowing here in Lancaster, temp is dropping quick. 34° and sticking tk grass already

Sun angle and rates will be a factor, yes... but with the crashing temps in the wake of the front I still don't think it'll be that much of an issue. I've seen 6" of snow in April a few years ago. With the heavier rates and plummeting temps forecasted, I think roads will be covered and colder/grassier surfaces will still see a decent accumulation. Those of us in Berks and the Lehigh Valley should expect 4-6" of snow, with probably 3-4" on roads and pavement if the rates do come in heavy. Also, don't forget about the winds behind and during this system. Should see some decent gusts and sporadic tree damage/power outages.

0z HRRR

12z CMC is impressive for Berks and the Lehigh Valley with 6+"

NAM and Euro seem on board for a decent advisory, maybe warning level, event for those especially NW of the fall line and into the Lehigh Valley. EE Rule?

Euro for Saturday is solid NW

Precip came in pretty heavy here in Millersville. Little ice accretion due to the heavy rates

Mount Holly ice forecast and 18z RGEM below. Definitely not going to see 1" of ice like the RGEM, but parts of the Lehigh Valley could definitely see up to, or perhaps over, 0.5" of ice. I still think sleet will keep accretion down

NAM is mostly sleet for much of the Lehigh Valley

0z RGEM

It'll be interesting to see how much accretion actually occurs considering it could reach 70 in spots Wednesday

The CMC has a ton of freezing rain and sleet for Friday

Not home, but my dad is saying 5.5" in Fleetwood

Thinking moat accums will be on grassy/colder surfaces. Kinda surprised by the higher amounts on models, it doesn't seem that juicy of a system. A general 1-3, 2-4" is likely

HRRR with a nice swath of snow right over 95

The NW Philly burbs and parts of South Central PA have been the screw hole all winter thus far

Ended up with 19-20" here in Beverly, MA (at least that's the best measurement I could get). Was a pleasure spending time in New England for this storm! The peak around 1-3pm was incredible under that band

It's absolutely crushing here, I'm just north of downtown Beverly near Nick's Roast Beef shop. 2-3" hour rates easily. How much you measure there? It's tough to find a measurement here, but found 11-14" consistently around the yard.

Pretty bad snow growth currently in Beverly, lots of blowing snow. Maybe have an inch or two?

Just booked a Beverly, MA AirBnB for 5 of my meteorology classmates/friends and I this weekend... and wow that Euro run just comes out. Boy am I giddy, I'll be posting in this subforum to relay obs from my location tomorrow and Saturday

Me and some other meteorology classmates/friends are looking to chase this bad boy up there in MA. Never experienced a true New England blizzard and already looking at AirBnB's to book. We found a place north of Boston in Beverly, MA. 1) How does that location look for this storm, snow and wind wise? Euro and NAM look impressive, want to know if anybody thinks there could be a better spot 2.) How does that location typically do wind wise. Close enough to the coast for winds? 3.) How is that area with regard to plowing, etc.?

Just saw the title of this thread... love it lol. 12z RGEM isn't too bad, a small cutback from 6z
